Eyeshadows - all about them!! 👁️👁️

[MishkaNorushka]

How many do you own? Which ones are your favourite and why? Your best combinations? The ones you still can’t get right? If you only could keep one?

I have 3 MAC for my green-grey eyes, Satin Taupe, All That Glitters and Sable. Keep one - Dior Beige Mitzah. UD Tease - Matte option for work. On the lookout for brown and light neutral colours that would not make me look tired but would be good clean look with a bright lip.

I rarely use powder shadows- i'm all about the cream or liquid: stupidly easy to use and more importantly from a mum perspective- quick! I like brans such as elf, mina, nyx. All affordable. I've tried more expensive brands but get the same results :)

They also don't go on well. I find the more neutral shades to be low on pigment and don't last long at all. Shame as the shades look good!

The only eyeshadows I use now are the Bobbi Brown eye crayon things. I have them in almost every colour so probably have about 20. They are fantastic-easy to apply, no fallout on your cheeks and don't budge all day.

Anyone recommend a good base for eyeshadows?

I tried Urban Decay and wasn’t that impressed - I now just use a bit of concealer then powder but do worry that I’m missing a trick.

I tend to use Mac eyeshadows but Max Factor quite good too for neutral shades on a budget level.

I’m not a fan of anything too sparkly, like a satin finish.

Tempted by Tom Ford and Lisa Eldridge now after reading this thread.

Cream or liquid. I’m one and done. Ellis Faas, Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown.
I have the Westman Atelier eye pods in Rendezvous, which are beautiful, but I seem to only use the pink.
I like the Trinny London shadows, but the glittery ones wear badly on me.
I did a cull of colours I did not wear or really didn’t like and now have pink, taupe/brown, peach, plum, one green and one light grey blue. All matte except for two Rose Inc ones which are glow rather than glittery.

@Back21970 You really don't need a base for the Bobbi Brown eyeshadow crayons and similar. They stick like glue and really don't budge in the slightest. I find when I use powder eyeshadow even if I use a primer I always get slight flecks on my cheeks
